Lyrics

Heretic


As they search for blood
All eyes descend on one
Honest man in chains
But that don't matter anyway
My judgment day

My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I've been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find heretic blood

Impose your will on me
'Til fire sets me free
The flames of hell burn bright
My fate decided by their lies
Final demise

My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I've been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find heretic
Heretic blood

Please, don't leave me
Please, don't leave me like this
I've walked a fragile line and I've fallen down
Please, don't leave me

My flesh will feed the demon now
No trial, no case for reason
I've been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses marching to find heretic
Heretic blood
